What Disney wants, Disney gets. Nemo is the second-highest grossing Pixar film (and the highest adjusted for inflation). It makes sense for them to produce a sequel.

Surprisingly Cars never did all that well, and it still spawned two sequels. I'm guessing it costs a lot less to animate those, though. And Planes was intended to be direct-to-video, until it tested really well.

I just wish they'd do a sequel to Incredibles. That's the one I actually want!

I don't know that the long-ish break between movies is a big deal for Pixar. There was quite a gap between Toy Story 2 and 3, as well as the Monsters movies. My daughter was pretty psyched to hear about another Nemo movie, and we're looking forward to Monsters U this summer as well.

Also, put me on the Incredibles 2 petition. Love that movie, and it seemed like the most ripe for a sequel of any of the Pixar franchises.

I don't know if anyone else caught it, but we just watched the Pixar special "Toy Story of TERROR!", and it was really good. Some nice new toy appearances in there, including Combat Carl (voiced by Carl Weathers) and some other surprises I won't spoil if you haven't seen it yet. Nice homages to some toys of the 80s in there though .
